Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

By then, Da Xia Country might as well change its name.

He would also have to sit upon that imperial throne.

But soon, his expression revealed a hint of worry and tension, uncertain whether Bai Yi had leaked this news. No, he had to act swiftly, before too many people noticed Bai Yi, and capture him!

Although Bai Yi's techniques for escaping were exceedingly powerful, as long as a trap was set in advance, even wings wouldn't help him escape.

"That's right!"

The Zhang Family Patriarch suddenly thought of something, looking towards a shadowy corner of the room and hoarsely said, "Find something for Ji Taiping to do, preferably send him away from the Capital. He has a deadly feud with Bai Yi and I don't want that fool to interfere with my plans."

"Understood."

A voice of an elderly man came from the shadowy corner of the room, his presence felt but not seen.

...

In the Capital, within a certain mountain peak.

Ji Taiping furrowed his brows as he looked at the message coming from his Sound Transmission Ring Palace, his back to everyone as he stood at the edge of a cliff. After a long silence, he turned to his side to speak softly to Ji Renjian.

"The palace commands, there's turmoil in the Hundred Countries to the West, I must go there to quell the disturbances and mediate peace," he said.

"This journey is likely to take dozens of days."

"I will accompany you," Ji Renjian, barefoot on the green stone, leaned against Ji Taiping's shoulder with a dazed look and said softly.

"No, you can't."

Ji Taiping shook his head and said, "Have you forgotten the promise between you and me? You cannot leave Jing Province. Last time, you sneaked out without telling me, encountering danger many times along the way. If I hadn't been secretly protecting you, would you still be standing here?"

"The outside world is dangerous. Just stay on 'Qingfeng' and don't run around. Wait patiently for my return."

"Mm."

Ji Renjian looked at Ji Taiping with reluctance and said, "Then you be careful."

She had always thought her brother to be indulgent in wine and women, somewhat dissolute and not serious. That was until she, on a whim, disguised herself and snuck out of Jing Province by herself. Even though she was dressed in disguise and deliberately made herself less attractive, as the Heavenly Dao's number one beauty, the slightest bit of her beauty that leaked was enough to drive many to madness.

Yet, every time she faced danger,

there would always be a green sword shot from afar to protect her.

Though the wielder of the sword was unseen,

she chattered with the sword incessantly along the way, and as it danced joyously around her as if expressing happiness, she knew that in the whole of Da Xia, only two people possessed such intense Sword Intent.

One was the White-clothed Sword Cultivator, the other was her brother, Ji Taiping.

At that time, the palace had given an order for both of them to quell the turmoil in the Hundred Countries; whoever succeeded would be appointed the title of National Guardian Sword Master, which would allow them to wield a thread of Da Xia's Qi Fortune, and enhance their understanding of the Sword Dao, greatly strengthening their own power.

In her memory, the White-clothed Sword Cultivator was obsessed with sword cultivation.

He concerned himself with nothing but sword cultivation and had only met her once.

The sword that protected her was, of course, her brother, Ji Taiping.

Upon returning to the Capital and sharing her adventures with her brother, he remained expressionless and silent for a long time before admitting to his actions, and he forbade her from leaving Jing Province on a whim in the future.

Soon afterwards, her brother took care of those relatives who had improper intentions towards her during her travels, executing them all.

Although she felt her brother's actions were somewhat cruel, thinking that he was avenging her, she felt very fortunate.

From then on, her impression of her brother changed drastically.

...

"Mm."

Ji Taiping affectionately pinched Ji Renjian's nose, then messed up her hair with a gentle smile and said, "Don't worry, there's not a person in this world who can kill your brother who has been born yet."

"When I return, I'll bring you some specialties from the Hundred Countries."

Afterwards.

Ji Taiping no longer lingered, turning to walk down the mountain, leaving Ji Renjian alone, gazing absentmindedly at his departing figure, lost for words. Continue your journey with empire

Her name was Renjian.

Her brother's name was Taiping.

When their parents named them, they intended it to mean 'peace in the human world'.

She truly wished for peace in the human world so that her brother wouldn't have to keep going to the Hundred Countries to pacify turmoil, so he could always stay by her side, and she could travel with him to other provinces.

...

Descending the mountain, as soon as Ji Taiping set foot at the base, a man in black approached him hastily and said, "Lord Sword Master, as per your orders, we have identified three more storytellers who often brag about Bai Yi's past deeds."

"Kill them all."

Ji Taiping walked forward with a cold expression and said, "In the future, you do not need to consult me on such matters. Not three, but even three hundred—anyone who dares to brag about Bai Yi, count them one by one and kill them all."

"No matter how big a problem arises, I, Ji Taiping, can handle it."

"If one person in this world says I am not as good as Bai Yi,"

"I'll kill that one person."

"If the whole world says I am not as good as Bai Yi,"

"then I'll kill the entire world."

"You're reporting to me when you could have killed them by now. In the future, if you encounter any problems, consult your predecessor before doing such foolish things. If it happens again, I'll start with you."

The man in black lowered his head quickly, a flicker of fear in his eyes, and whispered, "I understand."

...

'Fei City'.

It was the southernmost of the nineteen provinces in Da Xia, perpetually cold due to the climate, which led the people here to be robust and stout, hence the name 'Fei City'.

Originally, by crossing this province, they would have reached their intended destination, the Boundless Icefield.

However, the scholar insisted on bringing them to the most prosperous city in 'Fei City'—Fei City itself—claiming he wanted to show them a great treasure.
